Drake is putting his money where his mouth is, as he bets a whopping $850,000 on Logan Paul to defeat Dillon Danis in a boxing exhibition match at Misfits Boxing’s Prime Card in Manchester, England, this weekend.
The match is the co-main event of the card, which also features KSI vs. Tommy Fury in the main event. Drake, the 36-year-old Canadian rapper, is a fan of Paul and believes he will knock out Danis, who has been trash-talking Paul’s girlfriend for weeks.
“Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores,” Drake posted on Instagram.
However, not everyone agrees with Drake’s prediction. Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion and a friend of Danis, commented on Drake’s post: “Dillon all day.”
Danis, who has a 0-0 record in boxing, is a jiu-jitsu specialist who has not fought since June 2019, when he won his second MMA fight for Bellator. Paul, who has a 0-1 record in professional boxing, lost to KSI in November 2019. He then faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition match in June 2021, which went to a draw after eight rounds.
